Correspondents Philadelphia Press:
! was told yesterday OF an amusing scene
Witnessed by an American gentleman.
An English baronet with single eye-glass
and ever English accent was asking D
couple OF cowboys TO dine with him.
Be kind enough to give me your
cards." said the 5~aronet.

rather embarrassed young men, Eve
haven't got any"
"Oh, never mind-a mere formality
cards are, you know. Not necessary at
all, my dear boys. Lady Twill be
delighted to meet you. What are your
engagements for the week?"
The young fellows looked at each
other and said: GHOST any night would
suit us, l guess"
Delighted. you know. Well soy Fri
day night. Quite Internal. Never mind
dress suits"
The two cowboys went, and | have no
doubt behaved very nicely, but 1t will be
surprising If the fuss being made over
them here does not spoil some of them.
George w. Smalley writes from Lon
don to the New York Tribune: IAN
episode of Buffalo Bills career. All the
world knows, by cable and otherwise,
that he was on Lord Charles Bereford's
drag at the meeting of the Coaching club
in Hyde Park. He was the feature of
that. gathering. The princess of Wales
herself WAS less an object of interest, or.
at any rate, of curiosity. But there was
an unreported incident. Count Herbert
Bismarck was then In London, as he is
now. He went to the meet
and was seen by Lord Charles
who hailed him and asked HIM to
come up OF his coach. Count Herbert
accepted this invitation, climbed aloft
and was assigned to q seat behind the
box sect. He observed in front of him

When Count Herbert Blsmarck returns
to Berlin he will hove 1t to relate that
the man in whose favor he himself was
RELOCATED to q back seat, was an Ameri-

London; however, having some time
since set up Baffalo Bill as an idol, and
fallen down before and worshipped him,
and burned incense before him, is still
we'll content with its new image. He is
liked as we'll aB lionized. His nerves are
not Huttered by contact with fashion.
